A household is considered rent burdened if it spends 30% or more of its income on gross rent, which includes the contract rent plus estimated average monthly utility costs (electricity, gas, water, and sewer). This threshold follows the definition used by the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS), specifically from Table B25070: Gross Rent as a Percentage of Household Income in the Past 12 Months.
